This Rack Works Great
this Yakima DoubleDown 4 review by Erika
A great bike rack. Bikes are held in place with rubber straps and plastic anti-sway brackets. Support arm can fold down when not in use to ease in parking and backing up. Mast can fold down to access the rear of vehicle. Have used it often and it has always worked fine.
